CtDescribedDatabase (Property)
In french: CxBaseDeDonnéesDécrite
OLE DBAvailable only with this kind of connection
The CtDescribedDatabase property is used to set the OLE DB data source when connecting to a specific table via OLE DB. You can:
  • Get the OLE DB data source used to connect to a table via OLE DB. This data source is defined in the data model editor or when defining the data file programmatically.
    Warning: the CxDescribedDatabase property property does not take into account any modifications made with the HConnect function.
    This property can be used for a data file defined in the data model editor or programmatically.
  • Define the OLE DB data source used to connect to a table via OLE DB (only for data files defined programmatically). This property is equivalent to the CtDatabase property.
Reminder The HConnect function can be used to redefine one or more parameters of the OLE DB connection to a table. By default, the characteristics of the OLE DB connection are set:
  • when defining the data file in the data model editor,
  • when defining the data file programmatically.

// Connaître la source de données OLE DB
